Hi Jan,
I nearly contacted you via LinkedIn but thought I'd stay here. I am the mother of a 21 year old young lady. She has been I'll for about 10 years at first diagnosed with severe migraines. Cut a long story short in the summer she attended a clinic in Buckinghamshire where they diagnosed Non epileptic attack disorder NEAD. It would appear that the treatment for this is CBT. There is a two year waiting list on the NHS so we have gone privately, after doing lots of research etc to find a suitable therapist, we travel 60 miles to see her. My daughter and us understand that this is not a quick fix and no guarantees. But she is struggling so much at the moment. She is normally a very up beat girl but it all becomes too much sometimes. She can't work ATM but has a job waiting for her. Please can you give us any advice what so ever. She is also depressed quite understandably. Please help. Thanks.
